What is the easiest way to pull them onto the server. Can I do tthis across the network or do I need to load the applications on the server directly? Tag: Group Policy question Tag: 144180

    - SMTP Delivery to AOL Hi All We have SBS2k with SMTP setup to deliver directly to the recipients email address this works fine. The problem we have is AOL will not take mail from directly our server so I setup another SMTP for delivery of AOL email to relay to our ISP mail server. This worked for one day & with no other changes to the setup AOL mail is now trying to go out by our SMTP not the new relay? Is their a way to force the AOL mail to be routed to the new relay SMTP to our ISP mail server? -- Regards Simon Hardstaff --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

    - XP Workstations running S-L-O-W OK, I'm at my wits end and tried just about everything suggested in the Knowledge base. 5 Windows XP workstations take between 8 and 15 seconds to open Word and Excel documents, which all other machines open near- instantaneously. The docs were created in Office 97 and all machines are now running Office XP, and the NT/2000 machines are fine, just the 5 new XP CAD stations. I've disabled Oplocks, I've installed SP's and hot fixes, disabled kernal mode filter driver for Backup Exec and McAfee, lots of re-boots and no difference. Performance profiling shows that the workstation is 99% idle, no network traffic, just waiting for the server to respond. Server: Intel Vero Beach, Dual Xeon HT, 1024 GB, 1Gbit backbone, raid. Workstations: Tyan Thunder, Dual Athlon 2400, 2048MB, 3Com 10/100, Quadro FX, uSCSI. All latest drivers and patches. The users of these stations are all local administrators, and I've even tried upping them to domain admins. HELP!!!! John Bilton Tag: Group Policy question Tag: 144171

    - Antivirus Exclusions I have just installed Panda Antivirus on my server and want to be sure I have excluded all files and directories that should not be scanned. I found knowledgebase article 328841: Exchange and Antivirus Software. This takes care of the Exchange components. What about Windows 2000 and ISA? I also came across article 822158: Virus Scanning Recommendations on a Windows 2000 Domain Controller. I cannot find any recent references to this article in the newsgroup though. Should I follow these guidelines and make the registry changes? I thought the recycle bin is ususally excluded from virsu scanning. If there are any knowledgebase articles I am overlooking please let me know. Thank You, Don Tag: Group Policy question Tag: 144161

    - Crash A client has just had some lightning damage on his network. His server is also misbehaving now (not sure yet if hardware is too blame, yet). The server hangs at the "network connections" splash screen. Removing the NIC does not help. It wont start in safe mode. I have just done a repair from the installation CD to no avail. Are there any other methods of diagnosing before we pull all the hardware to pieces? There is no visible lightning damage on the server. Thnx. Tag: Group Policy question Tag: 144159

    - Backup problem (repost) Trying to backup to a tape drive (Seagate STT3401A/Travan Tape) via microsoft backup. Get this message: Required Media Missing There is no unused media available with the selected type. Add unused media or click Cancel to select another type. (Note: It may take 60 seconds for removable storage to recognise new media) This is a first backup routine. In the MS Backup wizard I have two options in the Backup Destination field: "Travan" and "miniQIC" and have tried both. Under Backup Media or File Name Field only have "New Media". Checked Device Manager and it says Tape Drive is working. Looked at Help and have checked Removable Storage as far as I can understand it! EG: A "Media Pool" snap-in has been created called Backup with miniQIC and Travan as sub snap-ins. Can see nothing untoward in their properties, but.... may be missing something. Under the "Physical Locations" snap-in a Seagate STT3401A snap in has been created with sub snap-ins called "Media" and "Drives". The tape injects and ejects from the Seagate snap-in menu. However there is nothing in the details pane when "Media" snap-in is selected. There is a Drive 0 in the details pane when the "Drives" snap-in is selected, however this says "Empty" in the state column. Help! Thanks in anticipation Tag: Group Policy question Tag: 144156

    - SBS 2000 Rebuild on New Hardware Hi, Can anyone point me to a document on how to completely re- install SBS onto new hardware. Specifically do I just do a full restore over the top or is there a way of doing a clean install, then restoring AD, File and their security and Exchange thereafter. I am not confident the previous install is very healthy so a clean with a restore over the top of the main data is preferred. Curious Guy Tag: Group Policy question Tag: 144147

    - Space used by ISA Report files Hi all, My system drive is running low on disk space. I have been removing files where I can, and came across the program files\microsoft isa server\<guid>\report job folder. This folder contains many files of the format REP20011229-REP20020104.IRP. Obviously some of these files are fairly old, and each of them are around the 200-300 kb mark. In my ISA Array, Monitoring Config the three logs are set to go to a different location to that mmentioned above. Anybody know if these files are safe to delete, or of a location where I can set up cyclical report generation so that I have no more than a certain number of report?

    - Term Server follow up question OK, so I now have a separate TS server connected to my SBS server, and I can connect in remotely and run Outlook. A few follow on questions: 1. I am using Trend on my SBS server. What do I need to do to protect the TS server? Can I run trhe Trewnt client setup on the TS server or what? 2. If I have another application I want to make available to just *some* of the TS users, how do I go about doing that. 3. Finally, how do I configure a TS remote user to print to "their" local printer -kw Tag: Group Policy question Tag: 144117

    - OWA, VPN and SP1a Morning people (your timezone may vary) I have 3 loosely connected questions so please forgive me if I bolt them together: a) I connect with my SBS2K system from home via VPN (ADSL at both ends and NAT at home). It works fine for long periods and then I get a disconnect. Often I can reconnect without problems but sporadically, the server refuses the connection. I can still connect via remote desktop but I can't see any error messages in the Event Viewer. No amount of messing around makes any difference apart from a) rebooting the server or b) waiting 24 hours or so. The problem is more likely to happen if I am connecting my laptop via a wireless connection into my home p2p network. Any thoughts on what's happening here and what I can do about it? b) I have OWA operating from SBS. I'm just using the regular ICW version. This works fine from the fixed PC (running XP Home) from home but I have loads of trouble getting through from anywhere else. This seems to be a security issue as the main problem is constant UIC/ password dialog boxes which do not go away when I enter valid credentials. I cannot get in when connecting: i) from a W2K workstation behind a client's ISA firewall; ii) from a workstation in a temporary internet cafe at a conference (connecting, I think to JANET over ISDN I guess); iii) from my laptop using my GPRS-enable mobile phone as a modem (Orange). Is there anything I can do about this? I have looked in the KB and implemented the standard advise from MS. c) Does anyone know how I can get my hands on the CD version of SP1a for SBS2000? This is available to US customers but not UK ones. The service pack files themselves I have downloaded but there are several utilities (including upgraded Outlook clients) which are not in the web distribution. Thanks for listening.

    - Spam, Exchange 200, SBS2003 Hi all, We have a problem. We have hundreds of email messages filling up the program files\exchsrvr\mailroot\vsi 1\badmail directory. We disconnected the SBS box from both the internet and the LAN at the same time, and it still happens. Shutting down the Exchange services stops it from happening. This implies that we have some kind of worm or script on the server itself. We have followed several KB articles regarding relaying and anonymous access to the virtual SMTP server, without success. Has anyone seen this before, or have some suggestions as to how to find and eliminate it ? Ian Welch Tag: Group Policy question Tag: 144100

    - SBS vs Server What exactly is the difference between Small Business Server and just regular server (2k or 2k3)? My boss got a free copy of SBS and is convinced that we now don't need to upgrade our exchange 2000 to a 2003 server with exchange 2003. We can just go to SBS 2003 with Exchange 2003 technologies... I'm thinking there has got to be a document out there that explains why one would have to go the Server route over SBS. Tag: Group Policy question Tag: 144094

I set up a mailbox for her & when I try to enable the account through outlook i get the Error " Unable to open your default mail folder. The attempt to log on to M/Soft Exchange has failed" It keeps asking for Username & password. I enter them correctly (already accepted to be logged onto SBS in the first place), but it keeps getting disregarded. Any ideas? Some of the workstations have a Personal Folder within Outlook - Is this necessary? I think the folders were created when i tried to import old messages form the users old O/E mail account. How do I erase this Personal Folder or even start the Outlook account from scratch? Help appreciated, Thanks In Advance, Gary Tag: Group Policy question Tag: 144088

    - Terminal Services and licensing Hello All, first time using this tool but I am really in a bind... We recently purchased a OEM version of Small Biz Server 2000 to put on a very inexpensive server that we purchased. We got it set up and installed around the end of August and now it is poping a message "Your terminal services temporary client licenses will expire in 15 days". Do we only get temporary licenses and we must purchase Terminal Services CAL's or did we not set up everything correcly? I suppose that our IT Manager would know the answer to this question but he is on a leave of absence in Asia. If anyone can assit me I would be much appreciated....

    - Internet Access over VPN connection Hi all, I am trying to setup vpn access to a clients SBS2K so they can access it from home. I have VPN connection all working, they can use Outlook and browse the file system without problems albeit a little slow. I havent been able to get web browsing working as yet. The ISA server is returning an error that the URL is being denied which is not happening when they are on the LAN. Is there somewhere in ISA where I should be allowing internet access to VPN clients? The only work around I have is to get them to use the internet while not connected to the VPN, however I would prefer them to have access as if they were in the office.

    - What's wrong with my batch file for ntbackup? /um switch I am trying to run a backup job using a .cmd file per Microsoft's suggestion for an unmanaged daily backup but it doesn't work. (Q239892 and Q267574 - method 3) Here's the dailybackup.cmd file: start /wait rsm.exe refresh /lf"SEAGATE DAT 04106-XXX SCSI Sequential Device" C:\WINDOWS\system32\ntbackup.exe backup "@C:\Documents and Settings\saxguy\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Windows NT\NTBackup\data\daily.bks" /v:yes /r:no /rs:no /hc:on /m normal /j "daily" /l:f /p "4mm DDS" /um I don't have the /n switch because MS says it's best to let RSM use the default date/time label. But when I double click on the .cmd file it just flashes and goes away. What's the reason? I have been trying for months to get ntbackup to run a daily backup job of selected files using one of two DDS3 tapes. Set to overwrite, I expect the job to not care which tape is in (I selected "New" for which type of media to use when i defined the job) but it doesn't work reliably. Seems to be RSM and the way it handles labels I guess? I discovered the /um switch which is supposed to obviate any requirement for user interaction on a stand alone tape drive (Seagate DAT) but I have yet to see it work reliably. I can do manuals just fine but that takes the fun out of automation plus it irks me that this shouldn't be rocket science to schedule a backup. I keep one tape in the drive and one in a safe location and swap them out fairly often. I don't want to be bothered by a request to "put in XXX tape please" to continue a backup. Just overwrite what is on the tape in the drive and be done with it. Any help is really appreciated Jeff Tag: Group Policy question Tag: 144049

    - Defragmenting SBS2000 disks? Been looking at maintenance on my nearly three year old sbs2k install and looking at defragmentation.... do I need it or not. C: drive holds the usual stuff and page file, D has page file client apps, User disks and exchange, E had url cache and Company stuff including sqldb's. Over the 30 months or so there's been a lot of file activity and access to our regular stuff like templates etc does seem to be slowing. We've been using diskeeper defrag on clients (NTFS win2kpro). Seems to work well but to be honest I've no actual proof or measurement to say it provides any real benefits. Downloaded and installed the Diskeeper server enterprise version on trial on my sbs2k and ran an analysis which says the C: D: and E: (all basically) drives are heavily fragged and to defrag it. Can I ask people opinions on this? I haven't used the MS installed defragger, which in understand is a cut down diskeeper, but I assume since it's there there's no issues running the thing? What about Exchange - I presume its not a good thing to defrag it, especially if its running? Same for SQL? Ideas or experience appreciated. rgrds Tag: Group Policy question Tag: 144041

    - All disks appear as 'dynamic' after reboot?w Help! Seems as though my disks, C: mirrored, D: & E: hardware raid , all previously simple volumes have been converted to dynamic disks after the last reboot? Huh? Has anyone seen this as a result of service? All I know is that I have *not* set the disk to be converted.... Boot took much longer than normal. First noticed the problem because I use Acronis True image server to do a physical disk image in addition to my NTBackup routine. Acronis doesn't like dynamic disks, only simple and got upset. Took an image before service (SP4) a few weeks ago ok. and rebooted after service ok. Didn't ntice any problems. Had to reboot to try and cure a dns prob Monday, coincidentally Monday evening was a sheduled monthly image which failed... Any ideas?

    - Router on LAN query Hi all, Hopefully not too strange a query here. We have a nice working SBS2000 set-up here, Internet connection via 2nd NIC and Broadband Router. We also have a PBX which also acts as a Router and also provides some nice CTI functionality. Query is this: We [or more specifically certain users on the LAN] need to be able to route out via the PBX's integral router to certain customer sites. To access the full CTI functionality of the PBX we need the PBX sitting on our INTERNAL LAN range. By default obviously, any packets not destined for the internal LAN get routed outwards by the Server - hence no routing to clients via the PBX... What I've done thus far is this: 1] Moved the PBX to our internal LAN [was previously sitting between the external NIC and the Broadband Router - worked fine in that set-up but less CTI functionality] and assigned it a fixed IP address on our LAN which is reserved in the DHCP set-up on the SBS box. In the Router config on the PBX I've entered a default route pointing at the Server's internal NIC address so that any packets not for any of the PBX defined routes/addresses get passed to the SBS box. 2] This has enabled the full CTI side - so far, so good 3] Re-ran the ICW and Internet access is working fine from both Server and LAN clients 4] I've also amended the DHCP scope to have the PBX/Router as another Router and moved this to be first in the list of router addresses provided via DHCP 5] From a standalone laptop without the ISA client, I can route to clients via the PBX no problem - so it *appears* that the DHCP/routing side is working fine 6] However, from my PC with the ISA client I cannot route via the PBX I *think* that the ISA client *appears* to be the likely thing I need to configure somehow but I'm unsure how to do so - can anyone provide any pointers? What I want [ideally] is to have all packets from any LAN clients going to the PBX/Router initially and if they're destined for one of the remote clients on that side, get routed by the PBX. If not, the packets should be forwarded to the SBS box and dealt with as normal. Or is what we're trying to achieve impossible? Thanks in advance, David Tag: Group Policy question Tag: 144027

    - Drive Mappings We moved drive mapping from server test (for example) to server test2. Now the mappings still go to the server test and are X'ed out because they cannot map. We used the same letters. The script on the server points to the correct mapping, but the workstations still try to map to the old mapping. If we delete both the workstation profile and the server, it fixes the problem, but then we have to redo mail, winfax, etc... We can add a new mapping with a different drive letter and point to the new server test2 and it works fine. I was going to try to use the net use /d command to get rid of them and then start over. Any other ideas. Thanks. Pat Tag: Group Policy question Tag: 144021

    - SBS 2K3 setup problem I've just installed SBS 2K3 for the first time and it installed so much better than SBS 2K. Very sweet since I always had problems with that part. But now I'm running into problems in the part that used to be easy for me and which might all relate back to the intranet site. When I open IE to http://companyweb/ from the admin profile I get a "not authorized to view this page" message. From Server Management if I go to Internal WebSite and click on: Change Name Manage Access Change Homepage Layout or anything else I get a "Server Error in '/' Application. The resource cannot be found" message. The local domain was setup as oursite.lan and I chose to name our intranet lib.oursite.org setting it up as a subdomain or our site. Our hosting company also pointed the subdomain to our website hosting servers so I get our website loading when I type the lib.oursite.org address into a browser. THE problem or just a problem? I also cannot get the computers running W2K to connect to the server by typing the http://servername/computerconnect into the address bar and keep getting "page cannot be displayed" and "server cannot find server" messages. Part of the same problem or something else? I would really appreciate hearing that I didn't do something very stupid by not acceptting "mycompanyweb" as the default during the setup and will now have to reload everything. Thanks again for the help. Leigh Tag: Group Policy question Tag: 144005

    - New Broadband Connection and Security Good Day. We just installed a new broadband connection. I went to a website to run a port scanner. Found that most of the ports are open that were tested. I have run the ICW, used a broadband connection, then made sure the filters were on when I continued with the ICW. What can I do to close the ports that are opened. Such as 80, 1080, 137, 138 etc. THank you Michael Tag: Group Policy question Tag: 143996

    - Domain Machine We just upgraded to SBS. Some of our client PC are getting the following message. Can you tell us how to fix it. Typically we change the machine to access the workgroup - reboot - change back to a domain. The problem is we lose our desktop and email settings under Outlook Thank The computer DELLBARBARA tried to connect to the server \\XXX-SERVER using the trust relationship established by the XXX domain. However, the computer lost the correct security identifier (SID) when the domain was reconfigured. Reestablish the trust relationship For more information, see Help and Support Center at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp Tag: Group Policy question Tag: 143995

    - Exchange or ISP? A couple of weeks ago, I got a bunch of email bounced back, all with a message like this: This is an automatically generated Delivery Status Notification. THIS IS A WARNING MESSAGE ONLY. YOU DO NOT NEED TO RESEND YOUR MESSAGE. Delivery to the following recipients has been delayed. lis0132@aol.com The message is sent from postmaster@funddrive.com which is our domain and website where our email is. We aren't using exchange inhouse for our email. I am going back and forth with the ISP about this being our problem or their problem. It seems to only be affecting a few email accounts through, not all of them. If I look in the Admin Console and expand down through exchange to the default virtural smtp server, I have a bunch of queues listed which say: SmallBusiness SMTP connector - print-worx.com (SMTP Connector - Remote delivery) the domain name in the above changes. What is going on. Has something happened to my exchange? Any ideas or suggestios? Dan Tag: Group Policy question Tag: 143993

    - Service Ticket Request Failed I am getting a lot of these failure audits in my SBS event log. I have researched all over the internet and can not find any good information why these computers are causing a failure audit to occur. Have SBS2000 with all the latest service packs and critical updates. Clients are WinXP Pro and are fully patched. All my machines are virus free and have the latest critical updates. Some are even brand new and some have been rebuilt. The events only occur on a few computers. I can't find anything on Microsoft's site or EventID.net that fixes this problem. The only thing I can think of is the failure audits occur when a machine is left on a night and the user has logged off. Here is one of the logs: Event Type: Failure Audit Event Source: Security Event Category: Account Logon Event ID: 677 Date: 11/26/2003 Time: 7:17:04 AM User: NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM Computer: MYSERVER Description: Service Ticket Request Failed: User Name: USERCOMPUTER$ User Domain: MYDOMAIN.COM Service Name: krbtgt/MYDOMAIN.COM Ticket Options: 0x2 Failure Code: 0x20 Client Address: 192.168.1.26 Tag: Group Policy question Tag: 143991

    - port 444 & 80 - Inforad Hi. I have an evaluation version of Inforad's Wireless Enterprise. I cannot make it work because I cannot figure out how to open ports 444 and 80. I am running an SBS2000 network with it's ISA server (2 NICs). My DSL router is not blocking any ports. I am lost. I thought that I had them opened and tried a Telnet session to my outer NIC address but got login prompts and I need no authentication required. Any ideas? Thank you.

    - ISA Firewall issue HELP!!!! We are running SBS2000 with around 30 Windows 2000 Pro clients. I have recently tried setting up a couple of new clients on the network, and found that after I install the Firewall Client the "Enter Network Password" dialog box always appears when I launch IE. I have enough CALs on the SBS, I have tried refreshing the Firewall (ashtray) with the SBS's IP address - but I cannot bypass this. When I enter the SBS's Administrator username and password, only then can I browse the web. The user in AD is a Member Of "BackOffice Internet Users". Please help!!!!

    - Exchange log file The Exchange log files in my MDBDATA folder have mounted up to over 3Gb. I recently moved the mailboxes and public folders onto another disk to free up space on the C:\ drive. Can anyone tell me if it is possible to do the same with all these log files please? Alternatively is there some way I can just prune them down so there arent as many?

policies for computers take 15 minutes and don't apply until reboot.
policies for users take 15 minutes and a fresh logon.
